The minisymposium “Mathematics and Arts” will be part of the joint annual conference of the German Mathematical Society and the Austrian Mathematical Society, originally planned to take place in Passau, Germany, 27. September – 1. October 2021. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the conference will take place in a fully virtual format with very affordable registration fees.

Our minisymposium aims to bring together researchers, artists, and educators interested in the connection and collaboration of mathematics and arts. We are looking for presentations of artistic objects that include mathematical components and put a focus on the imparting of this underlying mathematics. Furthermore, the talks can explore mathematical themes that invite discussions of their illustrations and the embodied artistic value.
